Team ELEBG – Electronics Buyer’s Guide
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common, charging infrastructure needs to keep up. Microchip Technology has introduced the MXT2952TD 2.0 family of secure touchscreen controllers to help EV charger designers meet the demand for secure credit card payment options while adhering to Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards.
These controllers encrypt touch data and authenticate software updates, reducing the risk of hacking attacks common in touch-enabled payment systems. They’re designed to withstand outdoor conditions and ensure reliable touch performance, even with thick gloves. This makes them suitable not only for EV chargers but also for other outdoor payment terminals like parking meters and bus ticketing systems.
